Hey I got this from a friend and am going to show him next weekend! Should I show it as a Birmingham or a show roller? I am not too sure and I am filling out the Entry form right now! Keep in mind, he is also 8 years old!




Thanks a lot,
Andrew

Kopetsa honestly I am green in the area of show rollers so help me out. Is a show roller a cross between a roller and a modena? and if so the bird you posted is not infact the bird seen above is a very nice looking bird which to me looks as a Birmingham roller should but I no nothing about show rollers.

You put that bird in with show rollers and they will laugh at you. Show rollers now days look nothing like rollers and more like long modenas. I dont show birds but if I were you I would put him in the old cock class for Birmingham rollers. Joe ---------- J.M.Urbon Lofts A Proven Family of Spinners http://www.freewebs.com/jmurbonlofts/

My thoughts are the same Chewy, This cock looks like he is puffed up defending his nest or territory. Joe ---------- J.M.Urbon Lofts A Proven Family of Spinners http://www.freewebs.com/jmurbonlofts/
